This vehicle pairs a Porsche-designed twin-turbocharged V6, Macan Turbo, 3.6-liter/400-horsepower with the 7-speed
Porsche PDK automatic transmission. Fitted with electronically controlled all-wheel drive and 21-inch wheels, this
Macan takes to the track like a natural. The Porsche Active Suspension Management system (PASM), standard on the
Macan Turbo, further tightens up the suspension and the already-responsive electric steering for even sharper
handling. There are few cars – and far fewer SUVs – that can waltz so cleanly into high-speed corners without a
hint of unpredictability. On the open road, the Macan keeps luxury-car quiet while boasting a 5, 291-pound towing
capacity. The center-console-mounted "Off-Road" button varies shift points, all-wheel-drive torque distribution,
and throttle response for optimal traction off the pavement.
This Turbo's leather and stunning carbon fiber interior panels pampers. The front seats with 18-way adjustable
leather ventilated sports seats engulf you. Big gauges tell the scores. The multifunction steering wheel – a nod
to Porsche's 918 Spyder supercar – feels sports-car ready. The view out the windshield is IMAX wide, and it's
easy to see rearward traffic as well. Beneath the wide-mouthed rear hatch, the flat, 17.7-cubic-foot cargo floor
expands to 53 cubic feet by dropping the 40/20/40 split/folding 2nd-row seatbacks.
